    Accepting IDE suggestions

    How can I accept the suggestions the VBA IDE displays as I type without either double clicking on them or hitting enter? Enter automatically inserts a carriage return, which I usually don't want; and double clicking is slower than typing for me.

    Use the arrow keys to highlight the property or method you want from the Intellisense popup list. Then press Ctl+Enter to accept
    the selection to your line of code and keep the cursor on the same line and right after the last char of the property or method you selected.
    The space bar also works for making the selection once its highlighted but places a space after the property or method.
